To Bol and hop to Jelsa

To make the best of a bad situation, we rode out in the wee hours of the morning. We were awake anyway, and maybe we could escape the midday heat. We dusted off the spiders and rode out to climb up and cross the hill to get to the other side of the island.

It was already hot at 8 am, but the shadows were still long to ride in from time to time. This landscape is just rocks and scrub and olive trees and spider webs. We climbed up several hundred meters, with Kiran feeling his legs out of form. We finally reached the top and could enjoy a beautiful downhill ride with the splendid blue sea popping into and out of view as we rolled to Bol.

Bol has the famous golden horn cape beach, the 'symBol of the Adriatic'. It looks interesting on the map with a long protruding tongue of land. On the ground, it was full of sunbathers and parasailing and thai massages. We swam a bit and found shade under the trees to nap a little.

Later we went to Bol port to find a boat to Jelsa on the adjacent island of Hvar. Yes, we did play catch in the beach water waiting at the port. In Jelsa, we found a guest room with air conditioning. Tonight, we sleep cool and comfy and only slightly smelly, like kings!Read more
